Chronicles of The Hardships of Komachi in The Sengoku Era

For Endo Kishin, the meeting with Nobunaga was like a daydream.As if he had no feet on the ground, he was on his way home with Nobunaga's autographed covenant.

According to the information obtained in advance, it was difficult to see Nobunaga in person, and even if he was given an opportunity, if he was unhappy, he might be seated in the middle.

However, until Kishin arrived, he had even received the undue privilege of having lunch with him.It must have been a "ladle to token."

(This is Oda... this is the life of the people of the world... and Oda who rules all of it.)

Keshin, who was blessed with the opportunity to dine with Nobunaga, feared the presence of Nobunaga and Ozaki, who were isolated from the common sense of Japan.

Keshin, who was under extreme tension, couldn't even afford to feel the taste of the meal served.

Still, it was felt that everything from cooking utensils and fixtures was highly sharpened.Kishin was full of nerves, rotting to eat like Nobunaga and Shizuko who was present, and avoiding exposure to ugliness.

Perhaps it was served as a contemporary first-class dish, but the flavour is vague (ambiguous) and blurry even the fragrance and colour, so it is not remembered.

"Everyone was jealous of a luxurious seat... but I'll never be forgiven again.If so, I will be able to face down and express my opinions. "

Nobunaga was defenseless without a guardian soldier or even a surname.If I were to ask him whether he could point a blade like that, it would be no good.

Nobunaga, as seen from Kishin, is surrounded by an incredible amount of prestige, and it is not difficult to imagine that his neck and torso would be separated from each other at the moment of hostility.

"Anyway, I managed to do my part.The problem is the hostages..... "

Kishin sighed so loudly.The covenant he obtained clearly states that the Date family will present the hostage as proof of their obedience.

In due course, he would be offered as a hostage by his rightful son, Santen Maru (later Masamune Date), but he had a little difficulty with his personality, who had just been renamed Masamune Date Fujiro.

"My heart is straight... but it's dangerous..."

The character of the political sect is as honest as breaking a bamboo, and although there are some places that are not seen, there is generally no problem.However, there was a fatal problem in taking hostages to other houses.

That is because of honesty, you immediately say what you think.As long as it is inside the House of Date, there is no problem, but if you make a remark against Nobunaga and Shizuko, it will become a diplomatic problem.

There is no other way to offer Kojiro, the second son, as a candidate, but it is difficult since Masamune, the eldest son, got sick and became one eye, because her mother-in-law only loves her younger brother Kojiro.

"Either way, I'll have to report it to you first and consider it."

Keshin, who decided that he could not come to a conclusion on his own, hurried back all the way to Okuba.

Shizuko, who had finished one of the Date family's cases, led an army to go up and settle down to Kyoyashiki.When Shizuko is in the tail, it is not easy to contact her no matter how the imperial messenger is.

Instead of the imperial court taking tribute to Shizuko, there was a temptation to put it in the form of Shizuko taking over the life of the imperial court.

In other words, in order to keep the Imperial Court in good standing, Shizuko went to Tokyo and waited for the messenger.Since Nobunaga was already in close contact with Nobunaga, it was just an external pose, but Nobunaga was stunned and ordered Shizuko to make things easier for them.

"Welcome, sister-in-law. Thank you very much."

Shizuko is staying at the Kintetsu residence to further increase his contact with the imperial court.I tried to have a meeting with Sakihisa a long time ago, but I got caught by a nasty opponent.

The name of the boy who calls Shizuko his stepsister is Konee Nobui.The birth child of a long time ago, in historical reality, caused a human resources struggle in the court called Kanban, which gave Hideyoshi the excuse to take office in Kanban instead of the Duke.

As a result, he isolated himself from the public society by overnight crushing the customs tradition that had been maintained for 700 years, and eventually turned his mind into a sick and soaked phrase.

Even in this world, I was initially aiming to succeed after a long time ago, but there were people who attracted such interest from him.

"Congratulations."

"... just in case, what do you notice?"

"Of course, it's about your sister-in-law coming out soon."

Shizuko had no choice but to sigh at Shinya, who made her eyes shine.Since Nobuyasu lived in the province for a long time before he was a father since he was a child, he used to hang out with samurai people more often than public houses.

The direction has become even more pronounced since Shinanaga and Jikon became related in the past.In this context, I was introduced to Shizuko as Yushi for a long time, and I began to have a strong yearning for her way of life as if it were a trade fair where she was born.

"I'm not happy about what I'm going to do myself... but I'm sure it's good.I won't let you wait for your stepfather, will you come with me? "

"Absolutely! My father has given me permission to attend. We're here to help!"

Shizuko felt lightly dizzy (dizzy) in Nobuyasu's words.On the way to the private room a long time ago, Shizuko was under questioning from Shin-ik.

If Nobuyasu was just a child, it would be a funny story, but he was a genius who had already demonstrated his talent for adult defeat in many ways, regardless of his age of just twelve.

His questions were therefore slightly more nuanced, and Shizuko felt tired before the meeting, as she was distressed by the response.

(Now I'm dumping on the military, but now I'm showing excellent talent in cultural aspects such as Japanese calligraphy and music in paintings, so genius is cruel.)

In historical reality, Nobuyasu showed the talent of calligraphy to be counted in the "Three Brushes of Kannai".By the way, the remaining two are Honami Mitsuetsu and Matsuhanado Akihiro.

The three of them sublimated the old brushes from the Heian period to new calligraphy.As a result, it is said that Japanese calligraphy history has reached the beginning of modern calligraphy, which emphasizes expression over record.

Even at the moment, I am unfortunately showing my calligraphy talent, but it is only a consolation to me.Furthermore, since the goal is to open an era such as Shizuko's, the goal is too high and we do not accept evaluation from others.

The number of people who broke their brushes due to his malicious attitude was quite high.

You look tired, Shizuko.

Shizuko was invited indoors and worked the longest time before opening.It is clear that the cause of her fatigue lies with her own son, who is following her around.

"Every time we interact, the questions get more sophisticated."

"I don't mind if you dress it with more.Now, let's get to know each other. "

A long time ago, Shizuko and Nobuyasu corrected their residence, and followed suit.Nevertheless, since information is shared beforehand, it is mainly to check whether there is any discrepancy in perception.

"Nine, two and one were behind this case, right?"

Nobuyasu dropped a bomb without any hesitation.Shizuko sighed, saying that it was not wrong because the back had already been removed, but that it was prudent to speak clearly at dawn.

"I'm sorry, I've already spoken to you, but I'm going to ask you again and again, is it wrong?"

"(Intuition alone captures the essence, genius's fear) No, it's true.The Takatsukasa family stands on our side, so if any of the remaining three families were to get worse, all of them would have teamed up and made a plan. "

"Even if you find the right answer, you don't seem to hold the background.Then you'll get your feet shattered when you shoot straight. "

Yes! I'm sorry.

Nobunaga was reprimanded for a long time ago.It leads to a conclusion that is genius but therefore not understandable to the rest of the population, but if we cannot explain the process of reaching there, it becomes the possession of treasure.

A long time ago I explained that the majority of people in the world are ordinary people, and that there is no leap in logic that after all, no one can understand.

"Failure is a young man's prerogative.You can use this failure to feed the next. "

Sister-in-law!

"Don't go on without reflecting on why you failed.You tend to miss it, so don't forget. "

Shizuko, who admired Shizuko, rushed up to say that she had put out a rescue ship, but Shizuko ruthlessly shook the reality into Nobuyasu.

"Ugh... my sister-in-law is tough"

"It's just as tough as it gets.It is true that there are three houses behind the example of Christianity.No one can afford to surround those who oppose imperial harmony, both financially and powerfully. "

Even if you are chased down, you will not be in such a riot without a chance of winning the boulder.Shizuko and Jiu have the same thoughts on this.

In this disturbance, the force is limited enough to support the monks who can first occupy Honganji Temple, and it will be restricted to three houses for legal elimination.

In the first place, the imperial court's prestige is based on the martial arts force.It was only a suicide act, such as attacking a foundation on which he stood, but it would still suffice to be able to force a martyr to intervene in the court with one hand.

Similarly, the involvement of Buddhists was also considered in relation to religion, but when the world economy was improving, it was quickly removed from the list of candidates because it lost its religious appeal.

"This is the third family, but when I left the detective alone, the evidence gathered seemed interesting."

"Where are they?"

"We took pictures of the real thing, preserved the evidence, and then put it back where it was.Afterwards, we will make elaborate objects based on the photos and replace them with authentic ones as soon as they are completed.Eighty percent is finished, but if you give me a little more time, everything will be in hand.Because the photos themselves are not so well known, it's not interesting to suspect the ability to prove. "

Shizuko signaled her last name and asked her to bring a weighty wooden box.Shizuko takes out several letters from the wooden box and sends them a long time ago.

I glanced at them long before I received them and was convinced that they were enough evidence to attack the opponent.

"Blood bonds. A crying place for people who can't rule out the possibility of betraying each other but have an interest in it."

"It was easy to gather evidence.But even though it's pathetic to be danced properly, it's so naive to plan a selfie with pictures like this.... "

Are you doing it yourself?

"Yes, it seems that the samurai did not like the unification of Japan and the imperial court's prestige was devised to make the world aware that it would not fade.Obviously, there is no point in not being able to read the currents, and even if it succeeds, it doesn't last. "

At present, there are only a limited number of public houses that defy Nobunaga.Nobunaga has never despised the imperial court, and has raised the authority of the imperial court and launched a policy of coexistence.

As long as Nobunaga is substantially financially investing in the operation of the court, there is no other way to ignore his intentions, but there are a certain number of people who are not good at it.

This disturbance was brought together by public officials who did not forget the glory of the past and did not find the rise of Nobunaga interesting emotionally.

Nevertheless, Nobunaga cannot be beaten by force, and there is a difference as much as there is an economic comparison.The bitter measure devised to crush Nobunaga's face was to crush the harmony between the Oda family and Honganji Temple.

Later, it was the essence of this time that the so-called (so-called) match pump was devised, which sold thanks by rushing to solve the problem with a loose knife and showing it.Success may reduce Nobunaga's influence somewhat, but it was a foolish measure that did not contribute to fundamental structural reform.

"Burn the Buddhist Church to take over Honganji Temple, and then organize the official army under the leadership of the public to drive the Buddhist Church out of Honganji Temple.I suppose the mastermind Church itself was supposed to mean that if it was dealt with as a mouth seal, it would not become corrupt.The inmates don't seem to be gathering as much as they think, and they still can't form a crusade force. "

"It's obvious that you won't gather, but if you're in Kyoto, you'll get so neglected."

A long time ago, I looked at Shizuko like that.In the area from Kinki to the Chubu region, gathering prison inmates to form an army is equivalent to a dream story.

This is because Oda territory is developing land with unprecedented momentum even as it looks around the world, and the demand for people's feet and feet for heavy equipment for civil engineering work is not reduced.

In addition, welfare benefits for migrant workers are abundant, and support payments for food, clothing, and housing are also provided as interest-free borrowing, so the surrounding area is not to mention the situation where migrant workers from farther afield are pushing in.

It is better to earn a stable wage with safe manual labor than to fight for your life as a prisoner.Because many people think so, few people prefer an unstable life like a prisoner unless they really need a lot of money right away.

"By now, the church will be in a hurry.I suppose the plan was to fight and defeat the breathtaking army of the three houses, and then have them guarantee a hidden life. "

"There is no reason to be impatient because everything is behind us and blocked in all directions.You will be desperate to ask for God and Buddha by now.Faith will be tested. "

"According to the interlocutor, 'I have the protection of God and Buddha, and I can't hit any enemy arrows or cannons.'"I don't know if the disciples believe it, but it's a corner, so let me use the words of the priest. "

"Fufu, don't always look bad, even if you're wrong."

A long time ago, I smiled lightly at Shizuko's words and hit him.When she sipped the tea, which had completely warmed her up, she groaned with anxiety.

"If you think about it, religion is pathetic.Ah, he's going to live a life that's been used around him for the rest of his life.It's not too pathetic to believe that I'm the only one who has the will. "

Shizuko handed over the royal construction fee a long time ago and moved to his own Keiyashiki in Kamigyo.She rests there slowly, then receives reports and various instructions from someone else before returning to Kintetsu Mansion.

In Shizuko's Keiyashiki, her immediate soldiers are guarding the surroundings, so even if they are messengers from the court, they cannot visit people without prior notice.As for the imperial court, it was only a long time ago, and Shizuko had to penetrate the position of a superior, so he could not set up a royal envoy or send a forerunner.

Even though it seems troublesome, Shizuko makes every effort to stay in the Kintetsu residence, which is easy to contact in order to keep the imperial court in good standing.Finally, the imperial court sent an imperial envoy, and a long time ago, Honganji Temple was ordered to pacify.

"Perhaps I will persist in my attitude of not being involved in the court for the time I asked Shizuko to do so.Totally detour. "

While laughing bitterly at the fence of public housing society, which is important in front of the building, I shrugged my shoulders long ago.As for the imperial court, Jiujiu, who is Kansai, is the general commander of the official army, and implicitly admits to moving Shizuko at the discretion of Jiujiu.

However, it has not been used for a long time.In the formation of this official army, it has been said that the appearance of mobilization will be left to the long term.The temptation of the imperial court is to use Shizuko as a convenience to bring him into the official army, but this means that whoever is under the imperial court's name can (...) be mobilized.

Long before I smiled while holding something in my stomach, I carefully prepared downward.A few days later, there was a crowd of black mountains in the corner of Tokyo.It was informed that the official army that would conquer Honganji Buddhism would fight, and it was the result of everyone gathering to see at a glance.

Since it was incorporated into the forces of the Oda family, the chances of seeing samurai armor have increased in Kyoto.Conversely, there is a history that the number of spectators has increased due to the rarity of objects, as it is seldom seen in the formal costumes of public houses (the costumes worn by public boys).

Do you think the public houses will attract the attention of the people of Kyoto? Everyone is wearing a bundle with enthusiasm.There was a noticeable presence among the vivid costumes lined up in the eyes.

There is a boy wearing a more gorgeous bandage than the surroundings, with a flag dyed with the Kintetsu Peony, the family crest of the Kintetsu family headed by the Five Regents on the shelf.

Though there were a few guards attached to the general public house, dozens of fully armed samurai were assigned around the boy, and there seemed to be no closer to even one cat.Nobuyasu sighed as he was intimidated by the physical atmosphere and watched from other public houses.

"I feel like I'm in the middle of something."

"I can't help it, you're the one leading the government this time.It is only natural that the security is poor.It would be a shame to even the last generation of the Kintetsu family if the general general of the official army was beaten in Kyoto. "

"I understand a lot.But, sister-in-law, I didn't even choose such an old costume..... "

It's a hobby.

Nobuyasu couldn't help laughing.Shizuko wraps up a bundle that is a woman's but a public boy's outfit as an exception in the special case.It was also similar to the era that was popular during the Heian period, and it floated from the surrounding public houses.

Asked why they were wearing such a grand costume, they deliberately stroked their nerves in a conspicuous fashion.Originally, the bundle was a formal suit for a public boy, and it was not given to Shizuko to say that he had married Yu.

Shizuko, who usually hates to stand out, has the intention to mimic it so as to dare to gather ears and eyes.

"Well, are they watching (...)?They did everything they could to find their treasure, so I need you to hurry. "

Shizuko murmured lightly hitting the head of the dagger she wore on her waist.Of course, they will be in the hands of Article 9, Article 2, and Article 1.The formation of the official army by the public authorities has led to some participation from their houses.

Nevertheless, the marchers are close to the last of those who are in wedlock, and are clearly sent in numbers.Do not attempt to move from a predetermined position within the ranks of the official army, as they have not been given any authority or freedom.

"I feel a hostile gaze, so I'm sure you're looking from somewhere.However, do you realize that my stepsister's dagger is one of the "Fujiwara Sanho"... "

"My stepfather and many others worked hard, so if you don't notice, it won't suit me."

Nobuyasu's term "Fujiwara Sanho" refers to a treasure from Fujiwara clan, which is one of the most prestigious in the public domain.As its name suggests, it counts three, one of which is the portrait of Fujiwara Kamamoto (the ancestor of the Fujiwara clan), the portrait of Taishokan Mimi, one of which is the brush of Kazuo Huiliang, the façade of Konji gold, and finally, the Dagger of the Small Fox.

In historical reality, it is recorded that Nobunaga Fujiwara used the Dagger of a small fox and visited Shimizu Ishizu (Iishimizu) Hachimangu (Hanamagu) in August 1552.Later, it was said that it was lost to the Kujo family in the early Kamakura period, and later to the Takashi family, but it was also lost in the late Kamakura period.

After that, it belonged to a temple, but it was lost and reported missing.Historically, it is said that the Kujo family bought it back during the Meiji period, but it is not certain whether it was a real dagger of a small fox.

In other words, the dagger of the small fox has multiple swords of the same name, and even shadowing still exists.Therefore, there is no guarantee that the "Dagger of the Fox" that Shizuko is currently wearing is a genuine work.It is unclear who is responsible for the Dagger of the Fox.

(I also recovered the shadow and searched as much as I could, so I had to make it real.Is it conceivable that the dagger was accompanied by items related to the Kujo family as evidence by the stolen brother's son?)

The reason for the loss of the Dagger of the Fox from the Kujo family is the inheritance of the governor.In the first half of the Kamakura Period, the Kujo family had two brothers, and because his brother could not succeed the governor due to illness, his brother was to succeed him.

However, my brother's son was dissatisfied with this decision, and one time he was said to have stolen the Dagger of Little Fox and ran away.

The troubled Kujo family asked a celebrity at the time to beat the dagger of a small fox instead.Since then, I have substituted it for the Dagger of Little Fox.This time Shizuko's discovery of the dagger of a small fox was accompanied by a katana with the family crest of the Kujo family inlaid on it, so it is presumed to be authentic.

(I'm not entirely interested in what happened when I stole the Dagger of Little Fox and ran away to let it go, but I think it's time to think about it anyway.)

Either way, Shizuko shook his head to focus on the immediate matter now.

"Now, luggage... no, do you want to take the god Mikoshi to Osaka?"

"I haven't made up my mind, sister-in-law!"

"I don't want to hide it."

"Please hide it. I understand your sister-in-law's thoughts, but I will take your luggage because it will be easier for your father to move, but it is inferior to Tatsuyamako in the yard."

"I won't let you out.You can have it packed in the name of protecting the castle. "

"Whether you stand in the field or follow our instructions, you will choose the latter.Ah, of course I will come with my stepsister everywhere! "

"If my father-in-law hadn't entrusted me with it, I'd have left it in some castle somewhere as a castle expense...."

"Oh no, sister-in-law, I can help you!"

Shizuko sighed with her hands on her cheeks, and Nobuyasu raised his hands to protest.Shizuko feels a headache when he forgets the fact that he is the heir of the Kintetsu family.

"I'm not going to take much longer than I used to, so let's get out of here and clean it up quickly."

Shizuko stared south as she stroked Shinya, who talked to her to buy her own cheer.
